Red Shirt i'm Parliament.

From the Whitehall Review Uondon).
1t was a curious sight to see the
great Sioux chief Red shirt slowly pac-
ing in all the bravery OF his paint and
feathers through the lobbies OF the
house OF commons, with little groups
amazed and admiring members dogging
his heels. With a grave face OF unal-
terate composure Red Shirt surveyed
the Libraries in which the learning OF
the ages is stored up, but for moment
something like surprise crossed his
face when he was shown the endless
series OF volumes of Hansard, and was
assured that the speeches OF all "the
braves" and "young men" were pre-
served therein for centuries. "What
We say we say" observed the chief,
"but our words are gone like the wind"
Never before has q redskin brave beeG
within the walls of our present parlia-
nent. But red men have been in Lon
don once and again. In the tea-cup
times of Anne there were four Indian
chiefs who came over in ITO to offer
their devotion to her majesty, and
who were made much of and shown
all that there was to see, and wonder
ed at by wits and fine ladies, and en-
tertained by puppet shows, and serv-
ed at themes for thu wit OF the latter

Yes, it is rather warm, but We
must take the weather as it comes.
We should be thankful to have any,
and even hot weather is better than
none at all. 1t has its compensating
features. There is no bothering with
overcoats, fur gloves, ear muffs, &c.
Fires do not have to de raked every
few minutes. Your horse does not
have to be rough-shod to keep him
from falling on the ice. Your own
head is not exposed to an avalanche
of snow from the roof asyou walk the
streets. The gas and water pipes are
not frozen up. The young man who
hangs on your front gate at night is
in no danger OF being frost-bitten.
There is no danger OF pumps freezing;
no necessity of covering cucumber
vines; fruit of all kinds is perfectly
safe if the boys can't GET at it; water
melons are beyond the danger point ii
they are under lock and key; last win
ter's ice crop is safe beyond doubt;
no immediate danger OF a blizzard;
good time to prune the thermometer
by cutting of the lower half. In fact,
hot weather has many, compensa-
tions, not the least OF which is tnat it
teaches patience. Wait, and it will
be cooler. Christmas 10 coming.

the GIRL carried it off bravely.
"Well, remember as well as it

A Georgian who has been spending
the early summer at Chesterfield, \.
H., and is greatly pleased with the peo-
pie and the way they live, has written
to the Savannah News the following
statement OF his conclusions: The
farming interest OF New Hampshire is
fast dying out. Forty years ago it
was farming state, the soil was rich
and productive, and large crops could
be raised; but now the soil is impover
ished and most OF the owners too
poor to 60 into revitalizing il to any
great extent. GLASS fed to cattle has
been the farmers principal means oi
support, but the West now sends beef
already dressed into the various cities
cheaper than the New England farmer
can raise it. Tumbled down barns.
neglected fences, and deserted houses
are seen at every turn. The result is
that the farms are being fast deserted
by the young men and women, who
either go west or crowd into the mann
facturing town"

Damages to the Rice Crop.

COLUMBUS, S. c., August l0.--News
from the rice fields south Of Charleston
confirms the reports telegraphed yes
terday of damage to crops. Over
$1,000 acres OF rice on the Savannah
River, Almost ready to be harvested,
are almost totally destroyed. The
freshet often days ago has just reached
the coast. Since then two others
freshets have occurred in the upper
part OF the river, and now Augusta
and twenty miles in the interior is for
the third time under water.
Very little Of the rice on the
Savannah River will be saved. On the
Ogeechee River, loo acres are under
water. On the Altamaha River 100
are threatened, but are not yet lost.
The rice territory around and near
Charleston is still uninjured. The
annual product of rice in this State Is
about lOO, 900 barrels. 1t is thought now
that fully one-half will be entirely
lost.

with bewildering suddenness. A STAN
pede was the result and the attend
ants had scarcely time to realize the
situation. As soon as the first excite
ment had abated, they made a cou
rageous rush into the suffocating smoke
and rescued all they could of the unfor-
tunates who had been overcome. The
bodies of six insane women, who had
met death by asphyxiation and burning
were recovered and three more were
found in an injured condition. Two of
the dead were unrecogniZable. The

Pitts, Miss Jennie b. Hall, Miss Evelyn
Scribner and Miss Charlotte Knowlton.
The injured are: Miss Caroline Knowl-
ton, cousin of Charlotte, perhaps fatally !;
Miss Jane Black and Miss Mary Ogle.
But for the heroic conduct of the physi-
clans and attendants, who rushed into

dragged the terror-stricken insane

was on fire before all the unfortunates
had been removed. The fire started in
the laundry, a one-story building,
which adioins the wing in which the
chapel is located, The prompt response
and active work of the tiremen prevent
ed disastrous spread of the flames and
the loss to property will fall below $685.
